Litten potentially missing start of the season.
Got to be looking at another centre now.
Think the club have messed up not using a quota spot on a centre.
Will they be looking though? Chamberlain and Hardaker were always going to be the first choice centres this year. Litten was only ever going to be a backup. Throw in Briscoe, Rapana and young Westerman as other centre options and they might feel that they are covered. Particularly if they feel confident that they can handle players fitness better going forward and lessen the injuries.
As for the quota spots, I think they have used a lot of the free places to bring in players that Cartwright knows and trusts which I think is a going to be a crucial factor in helping to turn us around as a club. Was there a centre available that fit that mold? I'm not sure.
